Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage, marking only their second Premier League loss of the season. Manager Arne Slot expressed his disappointment over the defensive errors that led to the defeat.
The match began positively for Liverpool, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring a remarkable long-range goal to give the Reds an early lead. However, a series of defensive lapses allowed Fulham to capitalize and overturn the deficit. Notably, Andy Robertson's misjudged pass across the goal led to Alex Iwobi's equalizer, and Virgil van Dijk was outmuscled by Rodrigo Muniz, resulting in Fulham's third goal.
Despite a second-half goal from Luis Díaz that narrowed the gap, Liverpool couldn't find an equalizer. This loss ended their hopes of an unbeaten away season and reduced their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 11 points with seven games remaining.
For Fulham, this victory was significant, boosting their aspirations for European qualification as they moved up to eighth place, just three points shy of the Champions League spots.
